Hi,
It looks like Nokia have released an updated version of th en80 with different browser and voip. I wonder if we will be able to get this to work on our original N80's ?

Nokia launch N80 web edition
Internet Edition of Nokia is just a revamped N80 - for September launch
by Tony Smith | posted on 31 August 2006
Nokia will next month ship a revised version of its N80 smart phone, the mobile phone giant said today. Dubbed the N80 Internet Edition, the upcoming 3G handset appears to be little more than a software upgrade over the current 'non-Internet' version.
Like the its predecessor, the N80 Internet Edition is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE slider phone with 3G. It has 802.11g Wi-Fi on board, along with Bluetooth. The chunky 9.5 x 5 x 2.6cm, 134g device also packs in a three megapixel camera, 40MB of memory, an FM radio and enough battery capacity to provide up to three hours' talk time and eight days' operation in stand-by mode. It sports a 2.1in, 352 x 416, 262,144-colour display.
Building on the original N80's software bundle, the new version of the phone adds Nokia's "enhanced" web browser which, along with the handsets other internet apps is stored in a new folder called, appropriately enough, Internet. In it, buyers will find a new Wi-Fi set-up Wizard, Amazon.com's MobiPocket eBook reader and the newly announced Yahoo! Go! mobile app.
Nokia also said the N80 Internet Edition has the VoIP-oriented Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) built in - as the picture above shows. Since SIP isn't used by Skype, don't expect to use the N80 to chat for free to your Skype Buddies.
The Nokia N80 Internet Edition will be available in the US and in Europe from mid-September. Pricing will be announced at launch, Nokia said.

I hope we could upgrade as well.
"N80 Internet Edition" may only be a fancy name f�r S60 3rd v 5? Hope to upgrade to this in September in nearest Nokia Service Center. Everything else would suck really, really bad...

"Pricing will be announced at launch, Nokia said." suggests that the price will be different (higher?) than that of the ordinary N80. So giving the same update free to owners of ordinary N80s would not make any sense.
What is a really interesting question however, is that will the "internet edition" phone include some kind of a hardware update too? (Better low-light video for example?)

Maybe hahahahaha is not appropriate in this case... 😉
If Nokia sells the Internet Version of the N80 at a higher price they might actually supply a battery that lives up to the above claims!
